My Top three:
And the lower three:
25. Seventh Day Adventist (23%)
26. Eastern Orthodox (15%)
27. Roman Catholic (15%)
I was raised a Roman Catholic as well.
100% Match for Unitarian Universalism
I don’t know how much credence I put in this assessment, though, since, although I hold the Tao Teh Ching in very high esteem, and consider it to be very influential in my personal philosophy, my “score” for Taoism (which I’ll admit I haven’t researched in any formal way,) is a mere 70% – 2% less than I got for SCIENTOLOGY! :eek: WTF?
My lowest match is for Roman Catholicism, (14%) which is too bad, since I really like the aesthetic, what with all the candles, incense, and ritual. I guess I’ll have to stick to neo-paganism (88%) for all that. 
Hermeticism doesn’t even seem to be on the list – I guess it’s too arcane. Too bad, since I actually managed to produce the Philosopher’s Stone in 1999, after only twelve years of toil. I think that’s some sort of a record. 
Hum…
9 of the 27 possible “faiths” just happen to be Christian.
And I’m more likely to be a “Liberal Quaker” than either a “neo-pagan” or “nontheist”.
WTH is a “neo” pagan?
But, on the whole, I’d say the test is well worth the price paid. 
Interesting. I really didn’t “get” the whole bit about placing a priority on a selection. I mean, it seems to me that if it’s an article of faith, then all of them should be equal, ya know? Anyways my top three were:
Which is pretty accurate, I suppose, but on a bunch of the questions I had to pick the answer which was least inaccurate in describing my beliefs.
I was raised Lutheren so I find this response amusing:
8. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (69%)
My bottom three were:
25. Roman Catholic (21%)
26. Seventh Day Adventist (9%)
27. Jehovah’s Witness (7%)
Which isn’t surprising, since I find many of their beliefs enigmatic to say the least.
Oh, HH, info about neo-pagans, more here.
I’m Pagan, so the results make a lot of sense to me… I don’t get the fact that Roman Catholic is the last on the list. IMO, they’re very into ceremony and ritual in the same way that a lot of Pagans are, but that’s a whole 'nother kettle of fish I’m not going to stir up right now.

Tuckerfan -
Thanks, but I was aware of the term and its usage - I was just commenting on the illogic of the term - “pagan” meant not “not sharing the Jewish/Muslim/Christian history” - how does one become a “neo-pagan”? I am not a “slightly-revised Hindu” or a “modified Buddhist”.
Methinks we need a new word meaning

Strike “meaning”. Thank you.

As an athiest, I thought it silly to take the test, but I figured I’d do it for kicks, and at least answer the ethics questions even though I gave the pat no-god answers on the first part (metaphysics/theology.)
Nontheist (100%)
Theravada Buddhism (90%)
Unitarian Universalism (89%)
Secular Humanism (87%)
Mahayana Buddhism (36%)
Jainism (33%)
Seventh Day Adventist (33%)
New Age (31%)
Orthodox Quaker (25%)
How they can tell all that just from my answers to the ethics questions I don’t know, but they couldn’t have been matching on the metaphysics questions because those questions all included a no-god option.

25. Eastern Orthodox (24%)
26. Roman Catholic (24%)
27. Jehovah’s Witness (20%)
Well, I’m Wiccan (neo-pagan), but for a lot of the questions I answered “none of the above” since I believe other things or combinations of the answers. But Liberal Quaker? Hmm… sounds fishy. My ancestor, Mary Dire, was hung for being a Quaker.
Hrrm
Nonthiest – 100%
Secular Humanism 82%
Liberal Quaker 61%
#4 is around 30%
So I think we can safely sum up my religious beliefs as, “When your god comes back, bring pie.”
Mmmm pie.
Eonwe said, “All the non-theistic options are really anti-religious, IMO.”
What other definition could you have for people who don’t believe in a god? That doesn’t mean they don’t want anyone else to worship as they choose. It’s just not something everyone buys into.
Oh, and keep it out of government, too.
I am Eonwe, according to that. :eek: Exactly the same top results. Also agree with your post, too.
…although I would describe myself as a secular humanist, not a Unitarian Universalist (mainly coz I don’t know what one is).
I think I’ll be checkin out Mahayana Buddhism a little…
I’m an atheist.
Actually is this the same site that was knocking around here a few years ago. Wasn’t it backed by the Unitarian Universalists or something like that. A lot of people are getting that belief system (or lack of one as the case may be)?
Top Three:
Bottom Three:
27. Roman Catholic 21%
28. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant 20%
29. Jehovah’s Witnesses 14%
My upbringing was United Methodist, which most likely fits in the Mainline to Liberal C/P, and my score there was 75%
